TRACY, of this city, occurred at the residence of his son, Mr. FRANK TRACY, in the Fourth ward, on Saturday, the 9th inst. sending affliction to the hearts of a large cirlce of friends and acquaintances. The fatal attack upon the brain was at first congestive, but in a few hours terminated in apoplexy. His health, during the winter, has been good, while traveling upon business at the south. Mr. TRACY was a native of Maine, born in 1823, being in his 58th year. In 1852 he removed with his family to the west, where for several years, his business called him to reside in several different states and cities. The past 12 years he has spent in this city, as an active and respected citizen. A life of lumbering has compelled him to struggle with difficulties, which he has bravely done with integrity and moral courage. His religious connections have been at several places with the Baptist church. He was a charter member of the Red Ribbon club in this place four years ago, to which he has firmly adhered. He was genial and kind in his family and in his business relations. His married life is 36 years. The remaining family are the bereaved widow and three sons, all residents of this city, who have the tender sympathy of many friends here, and in other places of their residence. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. S. N. HILL, at the Presby- terian chapel, amidst a large congregation, on Sunday the 10th inst. This is the third bereavement in this family within one year. The admonition of our Lord comes to us all.
